» Baby born with an abnormal bulge that is pushing her BRAIN out of her skull
A
Pakistani baby girl who was born with an abnormal bulge on the top of
her head is desperately waiting for life-changing surgery.
Anila
Ali, from Dokri in the Sindh province of Pakistan, was born with an
unusually large, soft head, which doctors diagnosed as a severe form of
craniosynostosis.
This
is thought to be causing pressure to build inside the three-month-old’s
head, which is forcing her brain to spread outside of her skull.
Medics
are baffled as to how to treat the newborn, who also suffers from a
severe form of spina bifida, which they claim has caused a tumour to
develop on her back.
Anila’s
19-year-old mother Naushaba, said: ‘I was happy when I gave birth to
Anila, my first child, three months ago in a private clinic. But, I got afraid when I first saw her head.
‘Her head was not developed properly and doctors told us to take her to the children hospital in Larkana. Her head was so soft that doctors told us that even a small injury on her head can do her a lot of damage.’
Naushaba
and her husband Amad Ali, 21, took Anila to Larkana where doctors then
advised them to take her to Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre in
Karachi.
Unable
to afford to make the 270-mile (430km) journey, the couple’s friends
and family gave them £800 to cover the cost of their travel and stay in
Karachi.
Amad, who earns just £4 a day as a daily wage labourer, said: ‘We took a lot of loans to arrange a visit and stay in Karachi. I wish our daughter gets the right treatment here.’
